OpenBuilt

Citizen-developer app builder for Nextcloud. Compose a working app from typed registers, connectors, workflows, and document templates — design schemas and pages in the browser, wire in data, preview the running app, version it, export it. No code, no second platform.

What you get​

  • A template catalogue of curated starters (CRM, intake form, asset register, help desk) plus the blank-app option — administrators decide what's offered.
  • A schema designer: define your data model field by field, backed by OpenRegister typed registers. No migrations.
  • A page designer: lay out list, detail, and form pages over your registers.
  • Data wiring: connect a register, an OpenConnector connector, an n8n workflow, or a DocuDesk template — the app reads and writes through OpenRegister abstractions.
  • Version snapshots: snapshot the whole app and roll back a bad edit. Export the bundle as a ZIP at any time.
  • RBAC: administrators control who can build, and per-record access is enforced through OpenRegister.

Getting started​

Install OpenBuilt from the Nextcloud app store or enable it in your Nextcloud admin settings. Then open the app, pick a template, and start composing.

For the step-by-step walkthroughs, see the Tutorials in the sidebar — the User guide covers building an app, the Admin guide covers RBAC, the template catalogue, and OpenBuilt settings. The integrator-guide, openbuilt-rbac, and openbuilt-runtime reference pages cover the deeper mechanics.
